Planning and Compliance
For EV charging, LCF reviews panel capacity, breaker space, charger amperage, conductor route, GFCI requirements, indoor or outdoor mounting, and any permit or inspection requirement before work begins. In HOA-managed areas, visible conduit or exterior charger placement should be checked before final approval.
Electrical installations must comply with the applicable adopted electrical code. LCF reviews site conditions, local requirements, and the responsible authority before the agreed work begins.
What to Avoid
Avoid choosing charger amperage before checking the panel. A higher-output charger, long cable route, or shared garage loads can change the installation. Discuss generator transfer equipment separately.
If there are signs of overheating, repeated breaker trips, water exposure, damaged equipment, or unsafe previous work, book a licensed assessment before adding new loads.
